Agreed, Superman was not designed invulnerable, but I'm talking about the one's we see now. Spiderman was designed to be a normal guy and fail, go look for Stan Lee's interviews on the subject. And yes, he loses his battles slightly less than half the time. I didn't say he got killed, or anything about "the war", I am talking about episodes strictly in the comic series, not in the movies. Stan Lee, in interviews, says this was a first for superheroes and why Spiderman quickly became so popular. | |

Superman is notorious for spending the first few decades essentially growing superpowers on a whim (and hence really not having a weakness), and Spiderman certainly does not lose half his battles - or, more accurately, he may lose battles, but he very rarely loses the war (entire swaths of villains are by now driven half crazy because they have never beat him even once). I am sure there are better examples in literature to drive home your point. | |
